From the Biography of Martin King from the History of Tioga County, PA, 1883.

"MART KING, son of George W., was born in Washington county, N.Y., in 1825, and in 1845 came to Mansfield, where he worked at blacksmithing two years and carpentering five years. In 1852 he went on the railroad, remaining until 1858. He then engaged in the produce trade until 1869, when he built a factory and went to manufacturing bedsteads. His factory which was a model one and first class-class in every particular, was burned, with all its splendid and costly machinery, December 24th 1870. It was rebuilt in the spring of 1871, and has since been devoted to the manufacturer of bedsteads and extension tables as a specialty, with a general line of furniture made from our native timber. It is probably the largest wood-making establishment in the county, employing a large number of men, and turning out thousands of dollars worth of furniture every year. There is run in connection with it a large steam laundry and Mr. King has at times nearly 40 persons on his payroll. He is a self-made man, having once been at the bottom round of the ladder, aid is now among our very first businessmen. He is president of the Smythe Park Association, and has been largely instrumental in making the Tioga county agricultural, mechanical, and industrial fair, which is annually held in the park, such a great success.".
